What does it mean for my property to be in forfeiture? Does that mean I lose my property?

No. Forfeiture is not the foreclosure. If your property is in forfeiture you still have a year before it will be foreclosed. However, the interest and fees will be higher. When a property is forfeited, the interest rate goes from 1% per month to 1.5% per month, back to the date the taxes became delinquent. A $175 fee, recording fees, and administrative fees will also be added.
